I asked Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas (Allah be pleased with him) about Mut’a, whereupon he said: We did that, and it was the day when he was an unbeliever living in (one of the) houses of Mecca.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters and in his narration (he) refers to Mu’awiya.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Sulaiman (but with a slight modification of words).

‘Imran b. Husain said to me: Should I not narrate to you a hadith today by which Allah will benefit you subsequently-and bear in mind that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) made some members of his family perform ‘Umra within ten days of Dhu’l-Hijja. No verse was revealed to abrogate that, and he (the Holy Prophet) did not refrain from doing it till he died. So after him everyone said as he liked, (but it would be his. personal opinion and not the verdict of the Shari’ah).

” A person said according to his personal opinion, and it was Umar.”

What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did but you forbid it? Thereupon Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he (‘Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When ‘Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and ‘Umra).

Abu Dharr (Allah be pleased with him) said that Tamattu’ in Hajj was a special (concession) only for the Companions of Muhammad (ﷺ).

Tamattu’ in Hajj was a special concession for us.

Two are the Mut’as which were not permissible but only for us, i. e. temporary marriage with women and Tamattu’ in Hajj.

I came to Ibrahim al-Nakha’I and Ibrahim Taimi and said: I intend to combine ‘Umra and Hajj this year, whereupon Ibrahim al-Nakha’i said: But your father did not make such intention. Ibrahim narrated on the authority of, his father that he passed by Abu Dharr (Allah be pleased with him) at Rabdha, and made a mention of that, whereupon he said: It was a special concession for us and not for you.
